The melody 211 would be a good choice. It is a little faster than the 300b amplifier. I still want to hear the famed Ongaku which is a 211 based integrated.

Snell Type A II Speakers
Not aware of Snells needing an electric crossover. You need to check out the woofers because they go bad in these units if overdriven. There is also a Snell users group on the web. My thought is the speakers should sell for $800 in good condition.

 Corelli,             When I finally heard these speakers my thought was "how could these speakers be $3,000? If they had a big audio name on them they would be at a minimum $30,000. I know we don't buy speakers by the pound but these are large sp... 
It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp.
Another good bargain is the Doge 8. Which is about $1500 new. As I said earlier the Linear Tube MicroZotl2 is ridiculously good for the price. Terry London thinks it is outrageously good also and uses it in his reference system. I too had a bias t...

Charles I completely agree with you. It is amazing how much an audiophile can do with such little money (compared to more established brands.) I have heard Teajay's set up and it is excellent. With the DI being so efficient, I want to hear them wi...
